“...admittedly there is so much to do in LA.”

SO tired of that California rationale/excuse.
There is PLENTY to do in St. Louis as well, it ain’t Hooterville ya know. Undoubtedly there is “more” to do in LA, it is after all among a handful of world class cities, but it is not like midwestern cities twiddle their thumbs on the milking stool, or in the pig pen all week, in breathless anticipation of the next pro sporting event.
Ummmm, I live in St. Louis metro area and I don’t like going downtown. Much rather go spend the day in the out-of-doors, besides minor league sports are much more affordable and fun - we have football, baseball and hockey right in good ‘ole St. Charles County.
